Faulty steering.
WARNING
Do not continue driving, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible and in a safe manner.
Take the vehicle to a specialised workshop and have
the fault repaired as soon as possible.
Never ignore the warning lamps or messag-
es.
Electro-mechanical power steering adapts
electronically to the speed of the car, torque
and steering angle.
●
If the warning lamps and the correspond-
ing messages are ignored, the vehicle may
stall in traffic, causing serious damage or
accidents and injuries.
Even if the power steering fails or the engine
is stopped, it is possible to continue to rotate
the steering wheel as long as the key remains
in the ignition, but more force must be ap-
plied.
It lights up yellow
Limited steering operation.
Drive carefully to a specialised workshop to have the
steering checked.
If the warning light does not come on again after re-
starting the engine and driving a short distance, it is
not necessary to check the steering.
●
Stop the vehicle at the next opportunity
and in a safe place.

OR: The 12-volt battery was disconnected and recon-
nected.

much on parking, manoeuvring or in very
tight turns.
Introduction
It flashes yellow
The Drive Profile enables the driver to
choose between the Comfort, Sport, Cupra
and Individual, profiles, which modify the
behaviour of several vehicle functions, pro-
viding different driving experiences.
The steering column is jammed.
When stopped, turn the steering wheel in both direc-
tions.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more
dynamic driving sensation.
OR: The steering column does not unlock or lock.
Turn off the ignition and turn it on again. Consider the
messages shown on the instrument panel display.
Do not continue driving if the steering column re-
mains locked after switching on the ignition. Seek spe-
cialist assistance.
The Individual profile can be configured ac-
cording to personal preferences. The other
profiles have a fixed configuration.
